I don't know if anyone relates to this, but while I really disliked my starting king while I had him, I find myself missing him a lot now! Mine was Chrysanthos(Chryssy for short), and while he only ever produced one pretty cubbin and had horrible stats and was overall just as awful as any starter king CAN be, I miss him a lot. I nearly cried when he passed away! This isn't to say I REGRET replacing him, as I think I'd lose my mind if I had to go back to him instead of my current king, but from time to time I get a little sad that he's gone </3.
